It is not cut up into nations; there are no wars there. Let us trespass freely and fearlessly and find our own way for ourselves. It is thus that English literature will survive this war and cross the gulf-if commoners and outsiders like ourselves make that country our own country, if we teach ourselves how to read and to write, how to preserve, and how to create.

For the words "special grace" substitute, if you wish, the words "madness" or "hallucination;" but the mystery will remain almost as dark.

Hawley. eds. 2007. The Postcolonial and the Global. Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press. 240pp. ISBN 9780802091901. David Jefferess. 2007.

Newell presents this homosexual and forger and his position in the British Empire. Very rarely are these individuals given either a voice or even a name in imperial history. Perhaps a much fuller view of colonial Nigeria and British experience in the rest of the empire shall emerge as a result.
